Hi all,
My kids elementary school is a peanut free school & I'd like to make something for their bake sale. Last year they had cookies and sliced cakes, muffins, cupcakes. I'm looking for something that's unique and a big hit with the kids.
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks, Giggles
rice rispie treats!
we make them plain, also with cocoa crispies instead of rice crispes.
we also make some using fruity pebbles and those fruit flavored marshmallows.
they'er always a huge hit at bake sales!
also, plain, no nuts but maybe chocolate chips, brownies.
Those are ur 2 biggest sellers around here(virginia).

cupcakes baked in icecreamcones. frost and spinkles. they lve them/ Steve
Try cookies baked on a white stick using different cookie molds plus frosting.
They have a few of those cookies in a basket shops here in my area and they are pretty with the frosting with all the cookies on a stick.
I just wouldn't use the extra wide molds just normal size.
Hey Giggles, I have a wonderful easy recipe for Cheesecake Tarts, takes 20 minutes prep and 20 minutes cooking time. Can't tell you how many times my daughter told me the night before she needed something to take to school. She has been making them since she was 11 (she's 22 now) The recipe is super easy but looks like you spent hours.
Cheesecake Tarts
30 Lg foil cups or 40 small cups 30 - 40 Vanilla wafers 2 - 8oz cream cheese 3/4 cup sugar 1 Tbls lemon juice 1 tsp vanilla 2 eggs 1 can Comstock Cherries Place one wafer in each foil cup, place on cookie sheet combine next 5 ingredients, beat until smooth add mixture to a large ziplock baggie, cut small corner and squeeze into each cup bake at 350 for 20 minutes Let cool then top with cherries (averages about 3 cherries per tart per can) Enjoy...
Other variants: melt about 2 oz chocolate (semi-sweet or milk) in with the butter, then add the marshmallow. Also, mix in mini-M&Ms (do even the plain count as peanut free? i.e., cross-contamination).
Another very easy to make recipe; has a caramel taste from the condensed milk:
Chocolate 'n' Oat Bars
1 cup flour 1 cup quick-cooking oats 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces), NOT evaporated milk 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chipsPreheat oven to 350 F (325 F for glass dish). In large bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar and margarine; mix well. Reserving 1/2 cup oat mixture, press remainder on bottom of 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake 10 minutes.
Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over crust. Sprinkle with chips. Top with reserved oat mixture; press down firmly.
Bake 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store covered at room temperature.
make cupcakes and ice with chocolate. take black licorice and cut to length and place six on the cupcakes in an arc to the table, three on each side to similate spider legs. On one side between the threes place two wintergreen lifesavers. Using icing, stick two m&ms on the lifesavers to look like eyes.......instant spiders.
